Podcasters and the law

by Anna Farmery

Podcasting has brought the ability to produce media on a mass scale, that is fantastic…but always remember you are still answerable to the law. Spoken word may be slander, transcriptions could be libel. In your front room, it is easy to get carried away with your opinions…but just be careful, if you give facts check them out first…it could go viral!

Note.The comments of your guests will not be held against you as long as then you don’t join in and add your own colour.

This does not mean you can’t have fun, irreverance, sarcasm etc…but just be aware that just because you are in the new cool area of podcasting …you are not above the law.
